After learning that some items purchased on eBay may have been used in the tragedy at Virginia Tech in April 2007, we felt that revisiting our policies was not only necessary, but the right thing to do. After much consideration, the Trust & Safety policy team – along with our executive leaders at eBay Inc. – have made the decision to further restrict more of these items than federal and state regulations require.
I think I like this new policy. I think eBay should also ban the sale of ANYTHING that was once used in a crime. For instance, if a camera was once used to create child pornography, eBay should ban the sale of all cameras, and photography related items.
Makes the same sense to me!
Yeesh.
